Daily Chizuk #0753

The pasuk says in Tehillim perek 19 “השמים מספרים כבוד קל ומעשי ידיו מגיד הרקיע – David HaMelech is telling us that he looked at the creations in the world in amazement, seeing the greatness of Hashem in them. Studies have shown that the entire earth in which we live upon is 1.3 million times smaller than the Sun and there are stars in outer space that are big enough to contain 9.3 billion suns inside of them. The vastness is mind boggling. Astronomers estimate that there are two trillion galaxies just in the observable universe and all of the stars, planets and galaxies that we can see make up just 4% of the entire Universe. Which means there’s another 96% which we can’t see, detect or even comprehend. One of the reasons Hashem made the world like this is for us to realize His greatness. Somebody could become a believer in Hashem just by observing His creations.
We know our purpose, we know there is Olam Haba. Having clarity gives us peace of mind. As we begin once again reading the Torah from Bereshit, let us appreciate this wondrous gift that Hashem has shared with us.
